Our Good Earth... Keep it Ours
Title
Our Good Earth... Keep it Ours
Description
With Regionalist artist John Steuart Curry’s iconic Our Good Earth (1940) as its centerpiece, the poster expresses an almost religious belief in American heartland values. Curry's hero-farmer holds three stalks of grain in his hand, while defiantly staring into the wind. The poster, instructing the viewer to “...keep it ours,” links the land to American values and patriotic duty.
